IRS Frozen Your Bank Account? National Tax Aid Can Help You Reclaim Control - Fast

When the IRS issues a bank levy, they can seize funds directly from your checking or savings account — without notice. If you’ve received a Notice of Intent to Levy or your bank account has already been frozen, time is critical.

At National Tax Aid, we’ve helped thousands of clients in Orange County and across the U.S. release IRS bank levies and restore financial stability — quickly, legally, and permanently.

What Is a Bank Levy?

A bank levy is one of the most aggressive IRS collection tools. Once issued, your bank must freeze the available balance in your account for 21 days, then send the funds to the IRS unless the levy is lifted.

That means:

  • Your paycheck might bounce.
  • Your mortgage or rent may go unpaid.
  • Your entire financial life can be thrown into chaos.

But with expert representation, you may be able to stop the levy — or even recover seized funds.

F.A.Q.

How long do I have to stop a bank levy?
You typically have 21 days from the date the IRS issues the levy before funds are transferred. The sooner you act, the better the outcome.
In some cases, yes — especially if the IRS made a procedural error or if you’re facing financial hardship. We will evaluate your eligibility for a refund or levy reversal.
The IRS can levy business accounts too. We help both individuals and businesses resolve back taxes and release levies on business operating accounts.
Yes. A levy is not a one-time event. The IRS can issue repeated levies until the debt is fully resolved — or until you get professional representation.
If properly negotiated and accepted by the IRS, a payment plan or hardship status can result in the levy being lifted.
